Eldris (S)

I think I found a new favorite knife brand. This is my 1st of these knives. I like the simplicity combined with the functionality. It's a little knife but a great knife. The sheath perfect for pockets. I put a lanyard of Paracord on both ends (bottom of knife and top of sheath). I feel there's a lot of ways to customize the sheath so my next plan is to make a sleeve for the sheath out of Paracord and seeing about making a fire starter pocket/sleeve and I'm also interested in making belt carry both vertical and horizontal (it can already be warn as a neck knife) but even if it stays good on the belt I'm still most likely going to pocket carry this. Anyway great knife, great blade grind,simple , functional and I believe very durable. I'll be buying more from this brand and of this particular knife in other colors. LASTLY I'm a big guy, big hands and this knife even at its compact size is EXTREMELY comfortable in the hands.

I've been waiting for this little sucker since it was announced. I'm a big Mora fan. They are great blades for a little bit of cash. The eldris is no different. While I consider myself a knife guy, and have at least one with me constantly, I use them mostly for slicing. Whether it's opening a letter, a bag of peanuts, or cutting paracord, I usually use knives for slicing. In doing that, most of the blade goes unused. With a small knife like this, it gives you exactly the length you need for most tasks. The blade has a compound grind similar to that found on the Mora 2000. I like the original scandi grind better, but that's life. Oddly the edge isn't a true scandi grand, but has a micro-bevel. This does add a little strength to the edge, but again I like the original true scandi. It's a personal thing, so didn't deduct any stars. The handle is short enough to fine compact, but has enough length and girth for a good grip. The soft soft rubber over mold really adds traction. The crosshatch pattern on the hard plastic areas prevent moisture from making it slick. There is a diamond on each side that is indented more than the surrounding area. This acts as the locking recess for the sheath. The sheath is a typical mora affair. It has changed little from their last upgrade. Small lugs on the inside lip of the sheath lock into the handle indentions. It is much more secure than my rounded tip Mora with the teardrop locking lugs, but less positive than the classic Mora companion sheath. I got the model without the firesteel, and I was a little surprised to see it didn't come with a belt loop. The only place to attach a tether is through the lanyard loop holes in the bottom. I used some paracord to attach it to my belt loop and let it sit in my front pocket. I will eventually put some kind of loop setup on it because I don't care to carry this piece as a necker. Your mileage may vary. Overall a great little knife that is a perfect size for edc. Would recommend.

Pretty decent little knife. I've got hundreds of them (knives, not this particular one,) so I think I can write a relevant review. It IS a very short blade, but it's stout, and capable of shaving hair off your arm straight out of the box. That's a really good starting point, as it's the first thing I test when I get a new knife. I probably look ridiculous walking around in public with large patches of hair missing on my arms, but I could care less. It's the first test of every knife I buy. Anyway, enough about my arm hair and back to the knife. Like I said, it comes very sharp out of the box. I've used this knife to carve wood with (that's really the best application, given the blade geometry,) and I've also used it to cut BBQ'd steak. It will perform the latter, but it's really better used for carving fine details in wood. The handle is a combination of hard plastic and softer "rubbery" plastic, and it snaps in place very securely in it's hard plastic holster. This is likely going to be more sought-after by folks that like "neck knives" (which I have never really been a fan of, but I can see how it'd be good at that,) and the holster has a provision for threading some paracord through it if that is what you're intending to use it for. Have had it for a month or three now, and have been using it frequently. The steel used here is pretty stout, haven't had to sharpen it since buying it, and it's very comfortable to use for my main intended purpose, which was for whittling. Would be great for camping, as other reviewers have noted, when using a fire-starter on the back of the blade, as it is a very sharp 90° grind and really makes some sparks when striking it on a magnesium sparking fire starter when you forget your Bic lighter at home or the zombies ate it. All in all, I would recommend this knife, and I look forward to trying out some of the other offerings this company has available.

The materials and fit & finish are everything you’d expect from a Mora. Great edge geometry. The secondary bevel toward the tip facilitates push cuts. Sharp spine that is good for scraping shavings and throws lots of sparks from ferro rod. This things is a feather sticking champ. All around great little fire knife. This isn’t a “small” knife per se, it’s more like a short knife. The handle fills the palm well and is comfortable. Sheath has great retention. I put some paracord through the sheath and I’m wearing it as a neck knife. If you’re thinking this size knife may be useful (or even if you’re unsure), just buy it. You won’t regret it.

Morakniv is a super quality yet amazingly affordable knife. I bought 2 of these for my son, along with making him paracord necklace/harness, that may someday save his life in using them to get out of a frozen lake fall through. Yes, you can set a good example, teach proper testing protocols, and listening to locals, but boys/young men inevitably will do stupid things; and I believe that these will be better (and more likely to be worn) than the carbide tipped versions whose strength (handle/blade junction) is questionable. With a Mora, I know that junction is good enough to trust my life! Also, one can cut off the handle and make THE WORLD's GREATEST Altoids tin survival knife! Making one is how I learned how super the blade/handle connection is insanely strong despite not being "full tang".

The Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized knife has exceeded all my expectations. This knife is compact yet incredibly powerful, making it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures. The blade is sharp and durable, maintaining its edge even after extensive use. The handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring precision in every cut. One of the standout features is its versatility. Whether you need it for carving, preparing food, or any other task, the Eldris handles it with ease. The knife’s compact size makes it convenient to carry without sacrificing functionality. The quality craftsmanship is evident, and it feels robust and reliable. Additionally, the sheath is well-designed, keeping the knife secure and easily accessible. This knife is a must-have for anyone who values quality and practicality in a compact form. I highly recommend the Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized knife to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile tool.

excellent size, sharpness, and value for this knife. Only drawback I've found is being unable to tell if the blade is facing up or down when it's in the sheath. I wish they would provide a tactile indicator you could feel with your thumb when you're gripping the knife in the sheath with the blade side down.

I love this knife. While it isn’t necessarily the best Mora for the money, it also isn’t super expensive for the quality you’re getting here. I love that it has the unfinished blade spine, and I can confirm that this does help with using a fire steel. I’ve also seen reviews say that the unfinished spine makes it uncomfortable to use in a pushing based carving style. Firstly, I wouldn’t get this specifically as a carving knife, though for me it does work well for that in addition to other functions. And secondly, the spine hasn’t really been noticeably uncomfortable while carving, even when I do push the spine of the blade (which is at least 50-60% of the time for my carving style). Something I was skeptical about was the compound grind on this blade. But, even though this is a pretty small fixed blade, the compound grind actually does work well for it. It doesn’t sacrifice the ease of sharpening the blade, because the scandi grind angle actually remains consistent throughout the blade, so it’s still one relatively easy to find sharpening angle. And, the compound aspect of the grind allows you to have a greater variety of cutting angles when you need that kind of thing. In terms of blade steel, I think you’d have unrealistically high expectations for this price point to be disappointed by its quality. It’s nice and stiff, sharpens relatively easily, and holds an edge, even with a true scandi grind. This knife does come sharp out of the box, but with about an hour of work, some varying grades of sandpaper and strop, it’s actually really easy to take that sharpness up a notch and put a real razor edge on the knife. The handle is great for a guy with big hands like me, and the grip on it works well. My only real gripe with this is the sheath. For me, when I wear this knife and I go hiking, I can be jumping around a little, climbing a bit, and other higher energy activities. And I have had situations where it’s fallen out of the sheath because of an impact that I would really expect a good sheath to hold well against. Because of this, if you’re going to particularly active while wearing this, to add a quick release stopper knot on a land yard through the hole on the end of the handle to make sure everything is as safe as can be. Other than that, I’d strongly recommend this!

Das Morakniv Eldris überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Der grüne Kunststoffgriff liegt sehr gut in der Hand und bietet dank der rutschfesten Einlage ein sicheres Handling, auch bei Nässe oder Kälte. Das Messer ist besonders kurz gebaut, dadurch äußerst kompakt und platzsparend. Ideal für Camping, Wandern oder als Begleiter im Revier. Durch seine geringe Klingenlänge ist es außerdem waffengesetzkonform, was es zu einer praktischen Wahl für unterwegs macht. Ich nutze es vor allem zum Auslösen von erlegtem Wildgeflügel direkt im Feld , hier spielt das Eldris seine Stärken voll aus: präzise Schneidleistung, perfekte Handhabung und geringes Gewicht. Wie gewohnt bei Mora: exzellente Verarbeitungsqualität, super scharf ab Werk und sehr robust. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Messer für alle, die ein zuverlässiges, kleines und vielseitiges Werkzeug suchen.

Super petit couteaux

Sehr scharfes Messer zum Wandern wie beschrieben sehr gut zu gebrauchen.

Bin immer noch ein riesen Fan dieser Minimesser! Sie sind allerdings sehr ballig im Griff und die Klinge gibt es in unterschiedlichen Qualitäten. Ein echtes EDC, das weit davon entfernt ist irgendwann den Geist aufzugeben. Mit Kordel, Schnürsenkel oder Paracordschnur prima zu verbinden durch das Lüftungsloch in der Scheidenspitze. Für feinere Arbeiten, Kräuter, Pilze, Früchte vielleicht nicht die beste Klinge, da würde ich auf eine Recurvedform zurück greifen. Dafür würde ich mit dem Messer auch Battoning machen.

ソロキャンプの時のかさばらない予備や、 仕事終わりにちょっとだけ焚火したいとき用の小さくてしっかりした(フォールディングでない)ナイフを探してました。 用途十分力を発揮してくれています。 箱出しでも軽くフェザー作るくらいの切れ味はしっかりとありましたよ。(個体差あるかもしれませんが) amazonのレビューに多い、用途が違うことを求めての低評価(このナイフで大きな薪をバトンしようと思ったら短かった等)を書かれる方は想像力が足りないのでしょうか。 きちんと物を見て買うものを選んで欲しいところです。良いものなのにレビューが悪くなる。 刃の背の部分がしっかりエッジ出ているのでファイアスチールも擦れそうですよ。 見た目も可愛いのでおススメです。
